Book

The underground church : reclaiming the subversive way of Jesus / Robin Meyers.

Meyers, Robin R. (Robin Rex), 1952- (Author).

Summary:

"The Underground Church is a radical book that proposes a radical idea: we need to recapture the spirit of the early church with its emphasis on what Christians do rather than what they believe. Written by the prominent minister, teacher, speaker, and writer, Robin Meyers, The Underground Church posits that the best way to recapture the spirit of The Way is to recognize that Jesus-following was{u2014}and must be again{u2014}subversive in the best sense of the word. Instead of endless theological and political arguments, the church must be more concerned with being loving than with being right"--Jacket flap.
